Welcome to an exceptional 95.02-acre recreational estate tucked into the breathtaking Ocooch Mountain region of Richland County, Wisconsin. Here, amid towering hardwood ridges, secluded valleys, picturesque rock outcroppings and the peaceful sounds of flowing water, you'll discover a meticulously maintained countryside sanctuary that embodies everything extraordinary about owning land in Wisconsin's Driftless Area.
A Whitetail Hunter's Masterpiece in Wisconsin's Ocooch Mountains
Some properties are purchased for the hunting. Others are purchased for the memories. Every so often, a property comes along that offers the extraordinary opportunity to have both.
Imagine waking on a crisp November morning inside your log cabin, the warmth of a crackling wood stove filling the room as you sip your first cup of coffee. Beyond the windows, a beautiful pond reflects the surrounding hillsides while the hardwood timber comes alive with the anticipation of another unforgettable day in the whitetail woods.
This is the kind of place serious hunters dream about. A property where years of thoughtful land stewardship, wildlife habitat improvements, agricultural production and recreational infrastructure have come together to create something truly remarkable.
Whether you're searching for a premier trophy whitetail hunting retreat, a private family getaway or a legacy recreational estate to enjoy for generations, this Richland County masterpiece deserves your attention.
A Charming Amish-Built Cabin Overlooking a Picturesque Pond
Nestled alongside a tranquil countryside pond, you'll find a delightful Amish-built cabin that perfectly complements the property's natural surroundings.
Constructed in 2007, this rustic retreat offers approximately 1,008 square feet of living area, including a loft, and exudes the timeless character of an authentic Wisconsin woodland getaway. Its welcoming covered porch provides an idyllic setting to unwind after a long day in the timber, listen to the evening chorus of wildlife and admire the peaceful reflection of the surrounding landscape across the water.
Inside, a freestanding Hearthstone wood-burning stove creates an inviting atmosphere during Wisconsin's cooler months. There's something special about returning from an early-season bow hunt or a frosty November morning and settling into the warmth of a wood fire while recounting the day's adventures.
The property has also received meaningful infrastructure improvements. Electrical service was installed in 2016, along with a 6-inch drilled well and a 2,000-gallon holding tank. A fiber-optic line has recently been extended to the cabin's exterior, providing an opportunity for future high-speed internet connectivity upon activation.
The cabin offers an appealing balance of rustic simplicity and modern convenience, making it equally suited for weekend hunting excursions, extended recreational stays or quiet escapes from the demands of everyday life.
And the setting? It's the kind of picturesque Wisconsin scenery that simply never gets old.
95.02 Acres of Meticulously Managed Whitetail Habitat
For the dedicated whitetail enthusiast, the land itself is where this property truly separates itself from the ordinary. Spanning 95.02 acres, this remarkable tract showcases a diverse landscape of productive agricultural fields, mature hardwood timber, brushy wildlife cover, secluded food plot openings, natural travel corridors and dramatic elevation changes.
The topography is especially compelling.
The property transitions from the lower valley elevations near County Highway DD into an impressive series of wooded ridges and steep sidehills that climb beyond 1,100 feet. Throughout the timber, ridge points, benches, draws and natural terrain transitions create the kind of geographic diversity that experienced whitetail hunters recognize as valuable habitat.
These features provide opportunities to study deer movement, identify potential rut travel routes and establish hunting strategies around changing winds, seasonal food sources and natural funnels. An established network of maintained trails winds throughout the property, connecting the agricultural acreage to interior food plots, wooded hunting locations and elevated portions of the ridge system.
Rather than starting from scratch, the next owner inherits a recreational property where considerable effort has already been invested in access, habitat improvement and hunting infrastructure. Multiple hunting blinds and treestand locations further enhance the property's appeal, offering established setups throughout the landscape.
Picture sitting in a secluded interior food plot as the first light filters through the hardwood canopy. Somewhere along a nearby ridge, a mature buck is working the downwind edge of a bedding area, searching for the next receptive doe. For a passionate whitetail hunter, it's difficult to imagine a more rewarding way to spend the season.
Productive Agricultural Land, Food Plots & Extensive Wildlife Plantings
One of the property's greatest advantages is its exceptional combination of agricultural production and wildlife habitat.
Approximately 21 acres of productive agricultural ground provide an important food source within this heavily wooded Driftless landscape. Corn and alfalfa contribute to the property's agricultural character while offering attractive feeding opportunities for deer and other wildlife.
Complementing the larger fields is a collection of smaller, strategically located food plot openings situated throughout the interior of the property. These secluded openings create additional opportunities to attract wildlife deeper into the timber and establish hunting locations away from the primary agricultural acreage.
The owner has also invested in an impressive assortment of tree and habitat plantings designed to enhance the landscape over time.
Approximately 150 apple trees have been planted throughout the property, creating a substantial network of potential soft-mast food sources. In addition, roughly 200 oak trees and 200 white pine trees were established as part of past Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) efforts.
Plantings of hybrid poplar and willow add further diversity to the landscape, contributing to the property's mixture of cover, vegetation and wildlife habitat. The combination of agricultural food sources, apple trees, oak plantings, evergreen cover, interior openings and natural timber provides an outstanding foundation for continued habitat management.
For those passionate about Quality Deer Management, this property offers the ingredients and infrastructure to build upon an already impressive recreational landscape.
Spring-Fed Water, Rock Outcroppings & Breathtaking Driftless Scenery
Beyond the hunting opportunities, this property possesses an extraordinary natural character that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
A beautiful pond serves as the centerpiece of the cabin setting, creating an unforgettable first impression as you approach the residence. The pond includes a registered small dam and offers a peaceful waterside setting for enjoying the surrounding countryside.
Elsewhere on the property, a spring-fed stream meanders through the landscape, eventually flowing toward the nearby West Branch Pine River. The gentle sound of running water, moss-covered stones, lush streamside vegetation and secluded woodland surroundings contribute to the remarkable atmosphere of this countryside retreat.
As you venture farther into the property, the landscape transforms into the rugged terrain for which Wisconsin's Ocooch Mountains are celebrated. Towering hardwood-covered ridges rise above the valley floor, while picturesque rock outcroppings and wooded slopes create a dramatic natural backdrop. The changing seasons bring their own beauty, from vibrant spring greenery and summer evenings beside the pond to the brilliant autumn colors that sweep across the hillsides.
It's the kind of property where simply taking a walk through the woods can become the highlight of your day.
Exceptional Storage, Outbuildings & Gated Access
A recreational property of this caliber deserves the infrastructure to support it, and this estate delivers.
A gated entrance along County Highway DD welcomes you into the property, providing a defined entry to the private retreat. The improvements include a spacious 24 × 48-foot detached garage constructed in 2014, offering substantial room for vehicles, tractors, UTVs, hunting equipment and recreational gear.
Two additional pole buildings measuring approximately 24 × 32 feet and 36 × 56 feet provide even more versatile storage opportunities.
As part of previous maintenance efforts, the pole buildings were reinforced approximately a decade ago with new treated 6 × 6-inch ground posts bolted and secured to the original posts. For the outdoor enthusiast who appreciates having dedicated space for equipment, implements and property-maintenance essentials, these buildings add considerable functionality.
Together with the established trail network, the outbuildings make it easier to maintain and enjoy a property of this size.
A Legacy Property Worth Passing Down
There's a meaningful difference between owning hunting land and owning a property that has been thoughtfully cared for, improved and enjoyed over time.
From the extensive tree plantings and maintained wildlife openings to the agricultural fields, interior trails, hunting infrastructure and beautifully situated log cabin, this property reflects years of dedication to the land.
It's a place where opening morning becomes a family tradition. Where children learn to appreciate wildlife, recognize deer sign and understand the importance of responsible land stewardship. Where evenings are spent on the cabin porch watching the sunlight disappear behind the ridges, and where the stories made each hunting season become part of something much larger.
The property offers the rare combination of a charming recreational residence, extensive storage improvements, agricultural production, diverse wildlife habitat, flowing water and dramatic Driftless topography—all across a substantial 95.02-acre setting.
Whether your passion is pursuing mature whitetails, managing habitat, exploring the countryside or simply escaping to a quieter way of life, this estate offers an exceptional canvas for creating memories that last a lifetime.
For those who understand the value of remarkable hunting land, meticulous stewardship and an authentic Wisconsin countryside retreat, opportunities like this are worth pursuing.

160 ± Acres of Hunting Land for Sale Near Butternut in Ashland County, Wisconsin
This 160 ± acre property near Butternut, Wisconsin comes with an established camping and building site, a driveway, and an existing access road already in place. That makes it ready for a hunting camp, a recreational cabin, or a future building site in Ashland County. There is no electric service to the property. One of its most unique features is its shape. The land stretches roughly 1.5 miles south from the town road into a remote area, giving you real depth and separation from the road along with multiple habitat types for hunting. For buyers searching for large, private Northwoods acreage, this layout offers a level of seclusion that’s hard to find.
Northern Wisconsin Hunting Property with Schraum Creek, Timber & ATV Access
The land is a mix of upland and lowland. Some areas were previously timber harvested and others remain unharvested, which creates a variety of timber types, forest ages, cover, and wildlife habitat throughout. Schraum Creek runs through the southern portion of the property, adding another valuable habitat feature for deer and other Northern Wisconsin wildlife. Thousands of acres of public land lie about five miles away, offering even more hunting and recreation, and Peeksville Road is open to ATV and UTV use. The property is not enrolled in Managed Forest Law or any other government land-use program, giving you full flexibility in how you manage and use it. It’s a great opportunity to own large acreage in the Northwoods at an affordable price. Call today to learn more.
You’ve just found the place where Friday afternoons turn into campfires, October mornings begin overlooking a clover plot and owning your own Wisconsin hunting ground becomes considerably more than a someday dream. Located at 2368 11th Avenue near Adams, Wisconsin, this 30± acre recreational retreat combines established wildlife improvements, substantial food acreage, wooded sanctuary cover and the infrastructure to make weekends in the country comfortable from the start.
A drilled well. Underground adventures replaced by evenings under the stars. Three RV hookup locations. And your own hunting ground waiting beyond camp.
Only a few minutes from Adams-Friendship, this property offers a compelling combination of accessibility, recreation and future homesite potential in the heart of Adams County’s outdoor country.
Bring the camper. Settle into camp. Make the land your own.
The property unfolds across a mixture of hardwood flats, white pine thickets and open ground, creating the habitat diversity that makes a manageable hunting tract interesting. Along the western boundary, 11th Avenue provides road frontage, while the eastern boundary adjoins an extensive block of neighboring timber. That relationship between open food sources and surrounding forest is central to the property’s hunting appeal.
Nearly 13 acres of former cropland are currently planted in alfalfa and clover, establishing a substantial destination food source within the tract. Rather than starting with an unimproved parcel and spending your first seasons developing feeding areas, the next owner steps into a property where that important ingredient is already established.
For the whitetail enthusiast, the possibilities are immediate.
Maintain the perennial forage, diversify portions into seasonal food plots or explore returning some ground to agricultural production. Depending on your goals, portions could be planted in corn or soybeans, creating additional feeding options and allowing the property’s food strategy to evolve with your management plan.
The open acreage also provides room to shape how deer use the property. Screening, plot divisions and carefully selected stand locations can help refine an already appealing combination of food and adjoining cover.
The current owner leaves the southern wooded portion as a bedding sanctuary and hunts the edges, an approach that gives deer a place to settle while concentrating hunting activity outside the protected interior. It is a thoughtful foundation for a buyer interested in Quality Deer Management and hunting a smaller tract with purpose.
Food out front. Security cover behind it. Hunting opportunities along the transition.
Additional improvements include several tubed chestnut trees and apple trees, introducing future mast and fruit sources as those plantings mature. Two wildlife water tanks add another habitat component, while young white pines and switchgrass have been planted near the western edge of the field to begin establishing screening.
For a buyer who enjoys improving land, this property offers both an existing foundation and room for creativity. Additional screening along the western and northern boundaries—potentially including giant miscanthus where suitable—could further define feeding areas, soften visibility and improve concealed access.
Three box blinds, along with treestands, are located on the property and may be available with the sale, subject to negotiation. Their presence adds to the established hunting setup, giving prospective buyers an opportunity to discuss a more complete recreational package.
Just as important as the habitat is the ability to enjoy the property beyond hunting season.
Connected 200-amp electrical service supplies three RV hookup locations with 30/50-amp connections, creating a practical setup for recreational camping and gathering with family or friends. A 4-inch drilled well installed in 2021 adds valuable infrastructure and saves the next owner from starting with completely raw ground.
Picture a summer weekend here: the camper parked, dinner cooking outside and an evening walk along the food plot as deer begin filtering toward the alfalfa and clover. Come fall, that same camp becomes the gathering place for early mornings, hunting stories and another season of memories.
This is the appeal of owning recreational land you can use throughout the year.
For those considering a future residence, the property is zoned A-1(15), which allows residential construction subject to applicable requirements and approvals. A soil evaluation completed in 2021 for a proposed two-bedroom home indicated a mound septic system. Buyers should confirm the continued applicability of that evaluation, their proposed building location and current permitting requirements.
That creates flexibility: enjoy the property as a recreational camping and hunting retreat while exploring a longer-term plan for a country home.
Beyond the boundaries, Adams County adds another dimension to ownership. Castle Rock Lake offers nearby opportunities for fishing and boating, while area ATV and snowmobile trails expand the seasonal recreation. Adams-Friendship is only a few minutes away for groceries, dining, supplies and everyday services, making both weekend visits and extended stays convenient.
Spend the morning fishing, the afternoon working on habitat and the evening overlooking your own food plot. Return in autumn for whitetails and wild turkeys, then enjoy the quiet character of the property as the seasons change.
Thirty acres with a purpose—and the improvements to help you enjoy them. Established alfalfa and clover. Hardwood and pine cover. A protected bedding area. Wildlife water tanks, planted trees and developing screening. Electricity, RV hookups and a drilled well already in place.
For the buyer searching for Adams County hunting land, Wisconsin recreational acreage, a private camping retreat or land with future homesite potential, this property brings those interests together in one approachable holding.

There are properties that have been maintained, and there are properties that have been built around a way of life.
Located at N45354 County Road E near Osseo, this Wisconsin farmstead brings together a comfortable country home, established agricultural improvements, multiple outbuildings, fruit trees, year-round water, and a collection of infrastructure that immediately makes you wonder what could be done here next.
At first glance, it feels like a familiar Wisconsin farmstead. Spend a little more time here, and a much bigger story begins to unfold.
At the center of the property is a traditional three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath country home that feels familiar in all the right ways.
The main level offers a large living room centered around a wood stove, main-floor laundry, and a primary bedroom with its own half bath. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with large closets and a full bathroom. A full block-wall basement provides additional utility and storage space.
The home has also seen several practical updates. A new Amana furnace and central air conditioning were installed in 2024, with the existing boiler providing a secondary heat source. Steel roofing and siding, updated exterior doors, and a newer deck add to the improvements already completed.
Outside, the property begins to tell a bigger story.
A detached one-car garage is complemented by a larger three-car garage, providing space for vehicles, equipment, projects, and storage. A small granary and corn crib add some of the traditional character you'd expect from an established Wisconsin farmstead, while a milk house and loafing area are reminders that agriculture here was once more than just a backdrop.
Apple, pear, and plum trees are already established, providing the foundation of an orchard that could be maintained as it sits or expanded as part of a larger vision for the land.
The headwaters of Elk Creek originate here, providing year-round flowing water and another natural feature that adds to the character and potential of the property.
The home gives you a place to live. The land and improvements give you room to build something around it.
One of the most valuable parts of this property may be the infrastructure that isn't immediately obvious from the road.
A separate purpose-built facility has its own well and septic system along with an office, bathroom, utility room, and walk-in cooler. Those improvements were put in place for a very specific reason, but they also create an interesting starting point for whatever comes next.
Maybe the next chapter continues in agriculture.
Maybe it's specialty food production, an expanded orchard or market garden, livestock, a farm-to-table venture, workshop space, or another rural business concept. Or maybe someone simply sees a country property with serious utility—room for equipment, projects, gardens, animals, and the ability to put the existing buildings and infrastructure back to work.
Future agricultural, commercial, livestock, food-production, or other uses would remain subject to applicable zoning, licensing, and regulatory requirements. But someone has already invested considerable time and resources into creating much of the physical framework.
And there's a reason all of it is here.
In 2020, this property became home to St. Isidore's Dairy Farmstead Cheese.
What may initially look like another collection of Wisconsin farm buildings was developed into a small artisan cheese operation built around a much different philosophy than mass production.
Using raw milk from grass-fed Jersey cattle, the operation produced aged farmstead cheddar using traditional cheesemaking methods with roots reaching back centuries. The cheese was aged for a minimum of approximately two months, entered the wholesale market, and earned recognition for the product being created right here on the farm.
The story eventually reached well beyond the property itself, with St. Isidore's and its farm-to-table approach featured by PBS Wisconsin.
That history explains the dedicated production facility, walk-in cooler, separate utilities, milk house, agricultural buildings, and other infrastructure found throughout the property.
Approximately $60,000 in cheesemaking equipment is associated with the former operation, with personal property negotiable. For someone interested in continuing or adapting the agricultural infrastructure, there's considerably more here than an empty building and an idea.
But the next owner doesn't have to make cheese.
What was created here proves something important about this property: the land and buildings can become the foundation for an idea.
Someone else already took this Wisconsin farmstead and built a business and lifestyle around what the property offered. The next owner gets to decide what their version of that looks like.
Continue an agricultural tradition. Develop a specialty crop or food venture. Expand the orchard and gardens. Bring animals back to the property. Put the buildings to work in an entirely different way. Or simply enjoy the home, land, water, and outbuildings as a country property with considerably more history and infrastructure than first meets the eye.
St. Isidore's wrote one chapter here.
The home remains. The land remains. The infrastructure remains. The next chapter is wide open.
You’re looking at your own private stretch of Wisconsin water and wilderness consisting of 40+/- acres where mornings begin with a fishing rod, fall evenings unfold over a secluded food plot and weekends revolve around the outdoors. Located approximately five miles east of Tomah in Monroe County, this distinctive recreational property brings together a 17+/- acre stocked pond, established wildlife habitat, deer and waterfowl hunting, a deep-water boat ramp and valuable utility infrastructure.
The centerpiece is the water. But the opportunity is everything surrounding it.
Spanning approximately 17 acres, the expansive pond offers the scale to launch a boat, explore the shoreline and spend an afternoon fishing your own water. Stocked with walleye, bass, perch, crappie and bluegill, this managed fishery delivers both quantity and quality fishing, with multiple species to pursue throughout the seasons. An installed aeration system supports the fishery and represents an important investment already made in the property.
Picture slipping the boat into the water on a summer morning, working the shoreline for bass and watching a bobber disappear while the kids wait for their next bluegill. No crowded public landing. No long drive between hunting ground and fishing water. Just your own private retreat, ready for another day outside.
A deep-water boat ramp makes launching convenient and gives this property something many recreational tracts simply cannot offer: room to enjoy boating and fishing together on a substantial body of private water.
Beyond the shoreline, the acreage transitions into a manageable hunting property with food, water and security cover concentrated within one holding. An established 2+/- acre food plot provides a destination feeding area for whitetails, especially as surrounding agricultural crops are harvested and fall gives way to winter. Remainder of land is wooded with a trail system for joyriding, hiking and hunting opportunities, creating a natural complement to the open food source.
For the habitat-minded buyer, the ingredients are already here. Maintain the food plot, refine your hunting access and manage the cover around the way you want to hunt. This is a tract where thoughtful stewardship can become as rewarding as the hunt itself.
Deer in the timber. Waterfowl on the pond. Fish beneath the boat.
The balance of the acreage consists of shoreline brush cover and a mixture of young pine trees, adding habitat, texture and screening around the property. Those pines help soften highway sights and sounds, with their screening value increasing as they mature. The nearby highway provides convenient regional access, while the vegetation helps create a more sheltered setting within the tract.
Infrastructure adds practical value to the recreational experience. Underground 200-amp electrical service is already installed, along with a drilled well that currently has no pump. These improvements give the next owner a useful starting point for property maintenance and future recreational plans. Bring your camper for overnight stays and enjoy the freedom of your own getaway.
Bring the fishing boat for a summer afternoon. Watch migrating waterfowl settle onto the pond. Spend September tending the food plot and November waiting for a whitetail to emerge from thick cover. Share the place with family, introduce another generation to the outdoors and build traditions around land you can call your own.
Approximately five miles from Tomah, this property makes frequent use practical. Restaurants, supplies and services are nearby, with convenient access to the region’s interstate corridors. That means more evenings on the water, more mornings in the woods and more opportunities to enjoy the property between longer weekend stays.
Forty acres. Seventeen acres of stocked water. A food plot, thick hunting cover, boat ramp, underground electricity and a drilled well. The rarest recreational properties give you several reasons to return. This one offers them season after season—a distinctive opportunity to own private water and Wisconsin hunting ground together, and turn ordinary weekends into a lasting outdoor legacy.
While this property may not be ideal for a build-site, the same property owner has multiple buildable lots available for sale within 1-mile of this property! This property is subject to a survey upon accepted offer.

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own piece of Wisconsin countryside? A place where cattle graze across rolling green pastures, a winding stream meanders through the valley, and wooded ridges provide a peaceful escape into nature? Welcome to an extraordinary 28+/- acre rural retreat nestled in the heart of Richland County, Wisconsin, where the possibilities for country living are as abundant as the surrounding natural beauty.
Located along County HWY DD near Richland Center, this picturesque property offers a compelling combination of agricultural versatility, recreational opportunity and the potential to establish a beautiful country homestead. Whether you've envisioned raising livestock, building your forever home, enjoying your own private hunting ground or simply escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this property offers the ingredients to bring that vision to life.
A Perfect Blend of Pasture, Hay Ground & Hardwood Timber
The estate encompasses approximately 28 acres thoughtfully divided among three distinct land uses. Roughly 3 acres of agricultural ground are currently utilized for hay production, while another 15 acres consist of fenced pastureland suited for cattle grazing and other agricultural pursuits.
For the aspiring hobby farmer or established livestock owner, the existing pasture fencing provides a valuable starting point for a small agricultural operation. The property's open countryside, rolling terrain and pastoral surroundings create the kind of setting that makes rural Wisconsin living so appealing.
Beyond the pasture, approximately 10 acres of mixed hardwood timber stretch across two smaller ridges overlooking the stream corridor below. These wooded hillsides offer a wonderful contrast to the open grazing ground, adding privacy, scenic character and a natural haven for wildlife.
A Streamside Setting with Country Homesite Potential
One of the property's most captivating features is the stream that winds through the middle of the landscape. Framed by wooded hillsides and open countryside, this natural waterway contributes to an exceptionally peaceful setting.
Imagine designing your dream home overlooking the valley, where mornings begin with the sounds of songbirds, evenings are spent watching wildlife along the timber's edge, and the surrounding countryside provides a beautiful backdrop through every season.
Whether you envision a rustic farmhouse, a modern country retreat or a secluded cabin, the property's varied landscape offers exciting possibilities for a future homesite, subject to applicable zoning, access and building approvals.
A Private Hunting Retreat in Wisconsin's Driftless Region
For the whitetail enthusiast, the wooded portion of the property provides an inviting opportunity to enjoy your own private hunting ground.
Two smaller hardwood ridges overlook the stream corridor, creating natural transitions between timber, water and surrounding open ground. This combination offers promising locations to explore for treestand placement and seasonal deer movement.
Picture a crisp November morning perched along a hardwood ridge, watching the first light filter through the timber as the surrounding countryside slowly comes alive. It's the kind of simple outdoor experience that makes owning recreational land in southwest Wisconsin so rewarding.
Beyond deer hunting, the property's woodland, stream and open acreage provide opportunities for wildlife observation, hiking and exploring the natural landscape.
A Lifestyle Worth Owning
What makes this 28+/- acre Richland County property especially appealing is its ability to serve multiple purposes without requiring the upkeep of a sprawling farm.
There's enough open ground to enjoy livestock and agricultural pursuits, enough timber to establish a personal hunting retreat, and a beautiful streamside landscape to inspire the creation of a country home.
Properties offering this combination of fenced pasture, hay production, hardwood timber, flowing water and potential homesite opportunities deserve a closer look.
If you've been searching for a manageable piece of Wisconsin's Driftless countryside where you can build, farm, hunt and create lasting memories, 000 HWY DD may be exactly the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Where Agricultural Heritage, Investment Opportunity & Driftless Country Beauty Come Together. Imagine owning 248± acres of Wisconsin countryside where rolling agricultural fields, sprawling cattle pastures, hardwood-covered ridges, and breathtaking sandstone bluffs converge into one extraordinary landholding. A place where the morning sun stretches across emerald-green hayfields, cattle graze the hillsides, and the distant timbered ridges hold the promise of another unforgettable November in the deer woods.
Welcome to 18298 Denman Lane in Richland Center, Wisconsin, a remarkable agricultural and recreational estate located within the scenic landscape of Richland County's celebrated Driftless Area.
For the farmer looking to expand, the investor seeking tangible assets and established income, or the outdoorsman dreaming of a substantial hunting property, this 248+/- acre estate presents an increasingly difficult combination to find: productive farmland, fenced cattle pasture, recreational timber, farm infrastructure, and long-term investment potential, all within one contiguous countryside setting.
Productive Agricultural Land & Established Income
At the heart of this estate is a substantial agricultural operation offering versatility, productivity, and multiple avenues for continued income generation.
Approximately 83+/- acres of agricultural ground are currently devoted to hay production, providing an established use for a significant portion of the farm. The sweeping fields roll gracefully through the countryside, creating an attractive agricultural landscape framed by wooded hillsides and scenic rural vistas.
Complementing the hay ground are approximately 70+/- acres of fenced pasture, offering considerable acreage for cattle grazing and livestock operations. The combination of hay production and grazing ground provides a practical foundation for an existing agricultural operator or a buyer looking to establish or expand a cattle enterprise.
The property currently generates income, adding an important dimension to its investment appeal. Future owners may explore opportunities to continue agricultural leasing arrangements, operate the land themselves, or negotiate new agreements that complement their individual ownership goals.
Unlike a property purchased solely for recreational enjoyment, this farm offers the potential to put substantial acreage to work while preserving the freedom to enjoy everything the land has to offer.
86+/- Acres of Hardwood Timber, Sandstone Bluffs & Whitetail Habitat
Beyond the open agricultural landscape lies an entirely different world.
Approximately 86+/- acres of wooded land introduce a remarkable collection of hardwood-covered hillsides, secluded draws, natural thickets, and striking sandstone rock formations that exemplify the rugged beauty of Southwest Wisconsin's Driftless Region.
Towering sandstone outcroppings rise from the forest floor, their weathered faces revealing centuries of natural history. Moss-covered ledges, layered rock formations, and steep wooded slopes create an almost prehistoric atmosphere — the kind of scenery that makes you stop, look around, and appreciate just how special this part of Wisconsin truly is.
The timber includes white oak and maple, along with apple trees scattered throughout portions of the property. These natural food sources, combined with the surrounding agricultural landscape, provide attractive habitat components for whitetail deer and other wildlife.
For the serious deer hunter, the property's habitat diversity is particularly intriguing.
Dense thickets and overgrown pasture areas create secluded bedding cover, while the transition between open fields, brushy edges, hardwood timber, and rugged terrain offers numerous locations worth evaluating for deer movement. The property's ridges, draws, and wooded transitions provide opportunities to develop a hunting strategy around natural travel patterns, seasonal food sources, and prevailing winds.
Picture a crisp November morning tucked into the hardwoods, watching the first sunlight illuminate the sandstone ledges while a mature whitetail slips through the timber below. It's the kind of setting that draws hunters to the Driftless Area year after year.
Whether your interests include bowhunting, firearm hunting, wildlife observation, hiking, or simply exploring your own private countryside, the recreational opportunities are substantial.
And with nearly 250 acres to work with, there's room to think beyond a single hunting season from habitat improvements and strategic food plots to establishing a long-term land and wildlife management plan.
Historic Farmstead, Residence & Agricultural Improvements
A traditional Wisconsin farmstead adds character, utility, and additional possibilities to the property.
The estate includes an early-1900s, two-story farmhouse featuring three bedrooms and one bathroom. The residence is modest and would benefit from repairs, updates, and general TLC. While not a luxury residence, it offers a practical opportunity for a buyer interested in renovating an existing farmhouse, establishing a rural residence, or exploring its potential as a rental property.
Accompanying the home are a barn, machine shed, and additional agricultural outbuildings that contribute to the property's working-farm character.
For an agricultural buyer, these improvements may provide useful infrastructure for equipment, storage, and farm-related activities, subject to their condition and suitability for the intended use.
For an investor, the existing residence and buildings offer another layer of flexibility beyond the agricultural acreage itself.
The beauty of this property isn't found in an elaborate farmhouse or expensive residential finishes. It's found in the land, the acreage, the agricultural foundation, and the opportunities that come with owning a farm of this magnitude.
Water, Wildlife & The Natural Landscape
Adding to the property's appeal is a stream running along the southern boundary, introducing another natural feature to an already diverse landscape.
Waterways and their associated vegetation can provide valuable wildlife habitat, natural travel corridors, and scenic character. Combined with the property's wooded draws, open fields, brushy bedding areas, and mature timber, the stream contributes to the overall diversity of this Richland County farm.
The aerial imagery showcases a remarkable blend of rolling green fields, wooded hillsides, open pasture, and secluded interior cover. From elevated vantage points, the surrounding countryside unfolds into a panorama of agricultural valleys and timbered ridgelines.
It's a landscape that offers something different with every season.
Spring brings green pastures and fresh growth across the hillsides. Summer showcases the productivity of the agricultural ground. Autumn transforms the hardwoods into a colorful tapestry of gold, orange, and crimson. And winter reveals the dramatic contours, rock formations, and rugged character that make this region so distinctive.
A Long-Term Investment in Wisconsin Land
There is a reason substantial agricultural properties continue to attract interest from farmers, investors, and recreational landowners alike.
Land is a tangible asset with a finite supply. And when a property combines established agricultural income with livestock capabilities, an existing residence, farm buildings, substantial wooded acreage, and recreational opportunities, its appeal extends well beyond any single category of buyer.
This 248+/- acre estate offers the potential to diversify how the land is used and enjoyed.
An agricultural operator may appreciate the combination of hay production and fenced grazing acreage. An investor may recognize the possibilities associated with existing income and future leasing arrangements. A recreational buyer may be drawn to the hardwood ridges, sandstone bluffs, and whitetail habitat. And a family seeking a generational landholding may see an opportunity to create something that can be enjoyed and cared for over decades.
Perhaps most importantly, these opportunities aren't mutually exclusive. You can appreciate the income-producing agricultural foundation while enjoying the recreational value of the timber. You can preserve the working-farm heritage while making thoughtful improvements for the future.
That's the distinction between simply purchasing acreage and acquiring a truly versatile rural estate.

You’ve found the kind of southwest Wisconsin property that can become the center of a family’s story for generations. Set on 96.25 acres near Mount Hope, this custom full log home overlooks a landscape of rolling cattle pasture, wooded hillsides, spring-fed streams and secluded trails. It’s a place to raise livestock, gather the family, tend an orchard and disappear into the hills for an afternoon—all from a home built with an extraordinary connection to the land.
Located at 9854 US Highway 18 in Grant County, the four-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence with full pine logs were sourced from the Baraboo area, but much of the home’s character came from right here. Handcrafted cherry, ironwood, oak, maple and corkscrew willow appear throughout the interior along with numerous burls throughout, with much of that wood harvested from the property. The stonework and fireplace have stories of their own. Every beam, grain pattern and carefully chosen detail reminds you this home was made to belong exactly where it stands.
The main level offers comfortable everyday living with a kitchen, dining area and welcoming living room, along with two bedrooms, an office and laundry. Upstairs, an open loft looks over the gathering space and leads to the primary bedroom, an additional bedroom and a full bath. The finished lower level provides room to spread out, entertain and unwind after a day on the land. In-floor heat warms both the lower level and attached garage, while a TSR concrete coating applied to the lower-level floor in 2023 gives that space a distinctive finish.
Step outside and the scale of the property comes into focus. Approximately 56 acres are pastured, currently supporting about 38 cattle and additional calves. The owners value their relationship with the farmer who uses the pasture and report that the ground is well cared for. The arrangement produces approximately $3,800 in annual income, adding a practical benefit to a property already rich in lifestyle appeal.
Beyond the pasture, an established trail system carries you through the acreage and into the wooded portions of the farm. Two spring-fed streams wind through the property, with ranging waterfalls adding the sound of moving water to the hills. As you sit on the deck or from the bedroom window the sound of peace surrounds you. Follow the trails on a quiet morning, explore the timber with family or simply enjoy the privacy that comes from having this much ground around you.
On the ridgetop, a large garden and orchard area brings another season of enjoyment. Grapes, apples, pears, plums and pecans give the next owner the chance to carry on a tradition of growing and harvesting from their own land. It’s easy to imagine summer evenings in the garden, autumn drives through the pasture and winter days spent beside the fire.
The improvements are equally suited to country life. In addition to the attached garage, a detached garage and shop offers space for equipment, projects and storage, with generous overhangs providing covered areas outside. An outdoor wood-burning system has its own building designed to complement the log home. Forced air furnace and also In floor heat on the lower level of the home and also the attached garaged with separate zones.
What makes this Mt Hope estate special is how naturally its pieces fit together: a handcrafted log home, productive pasture, approximately $3,800 in reported annual income, wooded recreational acreage, trails, flowing water and a ridgetop orchard—all on 96.25 acres in southwest Wisconsin.
Some properties give you a beautiful house. Others give you land to work and explore. This one gives you the opportunity to bring it all together and create a lasting country legacy in the hills of Grant County.
